Oak Hollow Sailing Club

To all OHSC Members:

For our 2013 Season, we have added an event to our calendar which is to be a Training Day/Fun Day for the club. This is set for Saturday, June 22, and will run from 9 a.m. until early afternoon, at the Sailing Marina (3700 Waterview Rd., High Point).

We have heard from three new members who expect to attend for some basic sailing training, Genell Hartman, and Bill and Janet Inmon. We have several board members who have already committed to be there, and it is hoped that many of our members will use the day for some casual sailing and fellowship. We will have use of the picnic shelter until around 11:30 a.m (it has been reserved by another group at noon), but we can sail as long as everyone wants to.

The club’s two boats, the 15′ Harpoon 4.6, and the Sunfish, will be available for use by our members.

Please come out and join the fun on Saturday, June 22, beginning around 9 a.m.

Thanks!

Oak Hollow Sailing Club held its May 2013 Regatta on Saturday, May 18th, under threatening skies and changing wind conditions. In spite of the poor weather forecast, 19 of our sailors were present, with 15 boats represented. Race committee duties were handled by Tait and Leslie Humphries and Bob Bass. Carl Simmons and Connie Sloan provided refreshments. Thank you ladies and gentlemen!

The storms stayed away (but so did the wind in Race 3) and we were able to run three races (actually two races and one “float”). Fourteen sailors participated in at least one of the races, with Mike and Marie Schram working on their skills at the opposite end of the lake.

Congratulations to race winners Michael Nordahl (winner of Races 1 and 2) and Art Hudgins who outlasted everyone in Race 3 after the wind died.

Thank you to all who participated. As always it was a great day on the lake!

Thanks!
